Want To Get Paid To Eat Healthy and Exercise? Work At IBM.

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

As an incentive to keep you healthy companies in America are now following Italy’s lead that we blogged about awhile ago and paying their employees to lose weight.

According to WCBS-TV…

Not only does Stefanie Chiras’ company pay her to develop computer memory sub-systems, but a little extra to eat right.

“Having work sponsor it makes you kind of feel like someone is buying into It,” said Chiras. “And then certainly the cash at the end of the day is an incentive.”

Chiras works for IBM. She gets an additional $150 in her paycheck for tracking her eating habits online and losing weight.

“When I reach for that next unhealthy thing, I think, oh, but I have to log it in to the tool.”

If you don’t work for IBM and want to use an online tool like theirs check out Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy’s super duper online weight loss and diet program. You can track everything and get the support you need from our members and us. Plus as a bonus we give away prizes to our members just for loggin on.

Our first guest was one of New Jersey’s favorite personal trainers and authors…Kevin Valluzzi. His new book “Stop The Fitness Confusion” taps into the wisdom of over 50 top trainers and fitness experts to get their best fitness and weight loss tips. Kevin says that a suprisingly consistent methodology came up amongst all the trainers. A circuit-style interval training is highly recommended for people who are crunched for time and are looking to burn more calories faster. He said this kind of work out allows you to burn calories all day long. For more information about Kevin, please go to his website www.thefitnessleader.com and to buy his new book go to www.stopthefitnessconfusion.com

Next up we had on Kevin Betts, the President of Fitness Together, the undisputed leader in the franchised personal fitness trainer business. There are over 600 Fitness Together franchises. Their philosophy is 1 Client 1 Trainer 1 Goal. At a Fitness Together studio the client works one on one with their trainer in a well appointed suite that features all the equipment anyone would need to get a results oriented, full body workout. For more information and to find a location near you please go to their website www.fitnesstogether.com

Next we had on Tina Vindum, outdoor fitness expert and host of the radio show Outdoor Fitness on the Lime channel 114 on Sirius Satellite Radio. Tina talked about the importance of training outdoors in order to get one with nature and use the surroundings around you to get a wickedly effective workout. In San Francisco she does outdoor classes with her clients first thing in the morning. They might be doing pull ups on a tree branch one minute and stretching on a parking meter the next. Each workout is different and each is sure to kick your butt. Tina stressed that exercising outdoors is an almost spiritual experience. She says she has had clients get overcome with emotions as they workout. Picture yourself at the crack of dawn, surrounded by the glow of the rising sun, running through the woods with the skyline of San Francisco in front of you as sweat is pouring off your body. Pretty cool huh? For more information about Tina, her only accredited Outdoor Training classes and her radio show please go the her website www.outdoorfitness.com
